Key Attributes
Binder Composition: The gouache is formulated with a natural vegetable-based binder, specifically dextrin, which contributes to its texture and performance. This binder is plasticizer-free, promoting a more environmentally friendly product.
Tube Size: Each tube contains 10 ml of paint, which is smaller than the standard 15 ml offered by many competitors. This smaller size may appeal to beginners or those looking for less commitment in terms of quantity.
Colour Range: Caran D’Ache offers a variety of colours, including primary hues and earth tones. The pigments are designed to provide good covering power, even on darker surfaces.
Performance Qualities
Opacity and Coverage: While the gouache generally provides good opacity, some users have reported that certain colours can appear more transparent than expected. This may necessitate additional layering or the use of white to achieve desired opacity.
Finish: The paints dry to a matte finish that resembles the texture of pure pigment powder. This characteristic is essential for techniques like colour mixing and is particularly beneficial for educational purposes.
Texture and Application: The consistency of the paint is described as similar to toothpaste, allowing for smooth application. However, some users have noted a slightly “gummy” or sticky feel during use, which can affect blending and layering techniques.
Rewetting Ability: Caran D’Ache gouache reactivates well with water even after drying, making it versatile for various painting techniques. This property allows artists to blend and manipulate dried paint easily, akin to watercolour.
User Experience
Vibrancy: Users frequently praise the vibrancy of the colours, noting that they maintain their intensity when applied. However, achieving full opacity may require mixing with additional white gouache or layering more than usual14.
Durability: The dried surface is resistant to cracking, which enhances the longevity of artworks created with this gouache. This makes it suitable for both classroom settings and independent projects.
Caran D’Ache Studio Gouache paints offer a unique combination of vibrant colours, a matte finish, and good rewetting properties, making them suitable for both amateur artists and educational environments. However, potential users should be aware of their transparency in some shades and the need for layering to achieve desired effects.
